Ok....where did this guy come from and what is it?
I have many Stomatella, but this is something different.
About an inch long:

Thanks for the thoughts,

That's a chiton in the genus Cryptoplax. There are a number of different species which look alike - long wormlike bodies and a fleshy mantle which nearly covers the 8 median plates.

Ahhh...I was thinking chiton too, but I assumed I would actually be able to see the plates.

Thanks!
